Best Practices

• •Always Speak from a Place of "We": Use inclusive language like "we," "our gang," and "bestie." This reinforces the core value of community and shared experience, making the customer feel part of the brand, not just a consumer.
• •Prioritize Empathy Over Sympathy: The tone should be empowering and understanding, not pitiful. Focus on strength, resilience, and thriving. Use positive, action-oriented words like "warrior," "resilient," and "thrive" instead of focusing on the struggle.
• •Lead with the "Why": Every piece of copy, from a product description to a social media post, should connect back to the brand's founding story and mission. Remind the audience that the products are created by someone who has walked the same path.
• •Balance Authenticity with Aspiration: Be real about the challenges of adversity ("chilly treatment rooms," "tough days") while consistently pointing toward a message of hope, style, and empowerment. This creates a relatable yet uplifting narrative.
• •Incorporate a Call to Community: Encourage interaction and sharing. Ask questions, prompt users to tag their support system ("gang"), and promote community events. This transforms the brand from a simple retailer into a living, breathing support network.
